The patch titled implement flush_work_keventd() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was implement-flush_work_keventd.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into implement-flush_work.patch ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: implement flush_work_keventd() From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> flush_work() requires that the caller pass in the workqueue to be flushed. But for keventd-based works, callers require access to keventd_wq, which is provate to workqueue.c. Add the new flush_work_keventd() wrapper to handle this. The naming in there is insane. We should come up with some consistent scheme to distinguish the things which operate on keventd_wq from the things which operate upon caller-owned workqueues. I'd propose "name of the function with _keventd" appended, as in this patch.
